Subscribestar quietly updated their TOS yesterday to ban a load of previously allowed content at the behest of payment processors. There are no safe platforms. This will keep happening and we have to fight back.
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art, Substar, itch, Patreon, etc)
This is your chance to tell them directly that you don't want to be told how to spend your money:
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.
✨ Guidance on submitting an effective comment per the Free Speeh Coalition via ECR News:
"YES it's a good idea to comment on this as ero creatives. the FSC is also submitting a comment. Summarized advice from the FSC (from their lobbyists) was that you should tell your story/explain why the issue is important to you, and – most importantly – clearly say what you want the Fed to do about it. In this case, eliminating "reputation risk" from the Board's supervisory programs."
Before anyone suspects this is only going to benefit republican institutions, remember that last year the OCC specifically named adult industries as a sector facing unfair debankment.
Please leave a comment as so many others have done already! Artists need you and you're going to need you too because they never stop with what you personally find distasteful. They are insatiable and you will watch your livelihoods, what you love, disappear too.
Hi, I just wanted to say your art has really inspired me lately. I’ve been using it as drawing practice (not reposting or anything! only for myself I’m still pretty new) and it’s honestly helped me stick with drawing these past few weeks. Redrawing your OC and other characters you’ve posted has already helped me improve a lot. I especially love your Yrsa x Thorkell fanart, it’s genuinely so cute, I love the way you draw them!
I just wanted you to know your art has had a really positive impact on me. Thank you for sharing it 💕
aw, thanks! whatever works y’kno, i can attest to them being very fun to draw.. but i hope you keep drawing regardless!
also if you happen to make art of them on your own, i’d love to see :^)
I use Clip Studio Paint EX which is a version of CSP that allows more animation features and have been using the program for quite some time. You might have already looked but when you installed CSP it should have come with a sort of parent program just called Clip Studio, which has an assets store. You can get heaps of new brushes and reference models and textures from there that can either be free or cost clippy tokens which you can buy with money. If you haven't already checked the asset store for some potentially free brush lookalikes I'd recommend checking it out! :)
oh yeah, trust me i spent a good amount of time scouring the shop and even trying to do it myself but i found out the actual issue is the brush engine itself. even in sai2 it was different and pretty disappointing.. why change what ain't broke! (she said knowing next to nothing about coding)
hey you mentioned clip being easier on the eyes - did you switch from pts to csp bc of the dark mode ? Because i found an actual dark mode sai last year and it changed me
WELL no, but it was a nice addition. i still mainly use sai. clip is nice and good for trying new brushes and textures and hell it has a million more tools than sai but i've yet to find anything to replace my fav sai brushes in it
